Infraspace

This article is about the realm between life and death. For the temporal-displacement dimension, see limbo.

Infraspace is an interdimensional region from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Not much is known of infraspace. In theory, it is the transitional infraspace between life and death, and has been described as "virtual nothingness". Under certain circumstances, a Transformer's consciousness can apparently exist there without a body.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Optimus Prime had received a severe beat-down from an Ore-13-powered Megatron, and was on the verge of terminal shutdown. In a desperate ploy, he transferred his higher functions into his trailer section, giving the appearance of lifelessness.

During the transfer, Prime's consciousness drifted through infraspace. While there, he felt a sinister presence that seemed to recognize and watch him. Escalation #6 That presence was later revealed to be Nova Prime Spotlight: Optimus Prime who was, at the time, an undead inhabitant of the Dead Universe and had changed his name to Nemesis Prime. Devastation #3 However, the exact connection between infraspace and the Dead Universe is unclear.

Notes

• The term "infraspace" was also used in Dreamwave's The Age of Wrath #3 to describe the far-less-metaphysical realm of interdimensional space. For that, see: Transwarp.
